Latest Windows 10 iso file too large for DVD!

Anonymous

I downloaded the media creation tool for 20H2 Windows 10 version. Requested 64 bit version ONLY.

ISO file is over 4.7GB, does not fit on DVD. What should I do? I DO NOT want to mess with dual layer,

blue ray, or flash drives. Never had this problem before, seems like a glitch in the tool perhaps,

it does not compress the file properly?

This one works! Just burned it to DVD. So, this should resolve all the media format woes posted here? :)

Be sure to choose the second option to create media installation, unless you want to update directly.

    Sjoei, lots to reading and things to do.

    Just GHOST / Mirror Image the Hard Drive.

    I already did it 3x for HP and Dell.
    It is great/nice that Win10 sees the Onboard UEFI for Auto Registering.

    Microsoft still has NOT FIXED the Oversized ISO

    May be you should redirect your Solution to them.
    See if they can improve the work-around.

    Keep up improving...

    Is this because they do not know how to get to and use the BIOS Boot Manager?

    Or Rufus? Personally I have never used Rufus and boot using the Boot Manager quite often.

    Also if they have Windows 10 already on their computer they can use File Explorer and open the download and run Setup.

    Then use a USB stick as you can get ones that are large enough.

    .

    I now have some laptops that do not have CD/DVD hardware included. I have an external USB drive that works fine but I do not use a DVD very often.

    Hey Sirius96,

    I guess you didn't try my post on creating the Windows 10 Install on 2x DVDs or 1x CD and 1x DVD.

    I can post instructions on creating 2x DVDs or 1x CD and 1x DVD using IMGBURN if you need. Only limitation to IMGBURN is that I can only figure out how to create a Legacy boot CD or a UEFI boot CD.

    Let me know which one.
